It is well known that shortening your supply chain through regionalization is a cost effective approach to getting your goods to the end user.  If your company is need of [warehousing, fulfillment, or contract packaging services](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/contract-packaging) then we at Industrial Packaging want to hear from you. ![Industrial-Packaging-Supply-Chain-New-England-Map.png](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogging_Images/2016_BLOGGING/Industrial-Packaging-Supply-Chain-New-England-Map.png?width=508&height=425&name=Industrial-Packaging-Supply-Chain-New-England-Map.png "Industrial-Packaging-Supply-Chain-New-England-Map.png") Our location in central Massachusetts is on average less than 85 miles from the 10 highest population cities in New England.  That puts approximately 13 million people less than two hours away from our facility. When considering where your co-packer or 3PL provider is located, keep in mind your product mix and where your products are going to be heading. The closer your provider to your ideal market, the lower the costs will be for delivered goods!
